Dana White on music heartthrobs: Thumbs up on Bieber, big thumbs down on Timberlake

When you meet the fans, you have to always have on your game face. At least, that's what we hear. That 15 second brush with the average Joe can leave an impression for a lifetime.

It might be the motivation behind the way Dana White treats his fans at autograph signings, ticket giveaways and most importantly live events. But it's not easy to be on your game at all times, that's why White was super-impressed with teenage Justin Bieber when he came to UFC 132.

"I love Justin Bieber. He's such a good kid," White said on XM's Opie and Anthony Show (7:00 mark - NSFW video). "The kid deserves everything he's got."

White talked about first meeting Bieber a few months back and the teen superstar was down to earth and attentive. Justin Timberlake was last generation's Bieber, according to White, now he's not such a great guy.

"He couldn't have been a more arrogant prick," White said of the 30-year-old singer. "So you want to hate somebody, hate Justin Timberlake, not Bieber."

White described the encounter with the former lead singer of N'Sync.

"I know how I am with people who love the UFC ... listen I'm not buying any [expletive] Justin Timberlake records, you know what I mean? The kids are.� When you see people treat kids like that and I've met them all. [Expletive] Justin Timberlake, he's a douchebag."
